On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 211.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 47.3% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Avondale, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
Average gross rent runs $1,872, close to the Avondale average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,200. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
